www.rotors.org/news.htmMr.

founded
Classic

With

volunteers
and
donations,
Classic
Rotors
now
has
over
45
rotorcraft
and
attends
more
than
a
dozen
air
shows
per
year.

Mr.
Sid
Nanson
visited
Ramona,
CA
in
June
2003
and
confirmed
the
identity
of
the
three
airframes
as
follows
:
HH-43A
58-1823
(formerly registered as N2843J),
HH-43A
58-1840
(formerly registered as N2856J),
UH-43C 146320
The
UH-43C
(HUK-1)
146320
will
be
restored
by
Classic
Rotors
;
the
airframe
of
58-1823
was eventually scrapped in California
after
stripping
of
useful
parts
and
the
airframe
of
58-1840
was
sitting
on
its
"back"
at
Ramona,
CA
(June
2003).

On 02 December 2005 a fourth
Huskie , N2856J (mainly based on HUK 146321) arrived at Ramona, CA after Classic
